brown corduroy vest

 


Well, if there is a little sister of the 1970s denim vest, it may be the 1970s corduroy vest, that appeared a little bit later on the stage. I think it would be unfair, only to remember the denim vest, the blue jean vest and the denim waistcoat and to forget the little sister. The American fashion company Dallas appeared with a set of different denim and corduroy vests in the present and I only focus on the brown corduroy vests here. Corduroy on corduroy, really great retro stuff I think. The people at Dallas have understand the fascination of vintage clothing. Thank you for that. More from Dallas maybe later. Found in the WWW.

Unternehmen Rentnerkommune

 


German actress Renate Martin appeared in the German TV-series UNTERNEHMEN RENTNERKOMMUNE from 1978 as Sabine in episode 10, wearing a blue jean vest.































Renate Martin also wore another vest in the same episode, it looks like a brown corduroy vest. Corduroy vests were also popular in the second half of the 1970s, but not as popular as the denim vests.

Chloe Sevigny in Zodiac

 


American actress Chloe Sevigny starred as Melanie in the 2007 David Fincher movie ZODIAC.  The movie is set in San Francisco (and SF Bay Area) mainly between the late 1960s and the early 1980s. 



I really adore Chloe here, playing a supporting role as wife of one of the main characters and wearing lot's of beautiful and authentic 1970s outfits.
















And one of the outfits included a orange-red turtleneck sweater and a dark blue vest over it. I'm always struggling, if it was a denim vest or a corduroy vest. 



Some years ago there was a high resolution still available from especially this scene, that seems not to be in the WWW anymore. After I saw it, I said Corduroy vest! But now after some years have passed I would like to compare again. Too late. Corduroy vest or dark blue jean vest, that's the question.


































I've seen Chloe wearing a real vintage denim vest on the 10th Annual Kids for Kids Celebrity Carnival to benefit the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation in September 2003 in NYC:


































Chloes denim vest ist one by jeans company brand COUNTRY. So much I would like to have her seen in a 1970s blue jean vest here, I think, the vest is vintage, but one from the 1990s, not the 1970s. Especially the look of the companys name in the back of the vest is to glamorous for the 1970:
